Cherries are THE motif of the summer for girls

When it comes to the (serious business) of shopping for children’s summer clothes, I have to confess I’m not normally a motif kind of a girl. It does takes quite something to get me out of the ditsy floral/every colour of sludge corner of the shop.

But, this cherry on top situation has got me branching out. They’ve long been the motif of high end store Bonpoint but this year I’ve noticed them popping up everywhere from the equally spendy Stella McCartney kids right down to much more wallet friendly Mango.

As with all these things I advise approaching with caution. I’m thinking steer clear of the sequin rub up, rub down versions and stick to a bit more of a retro vibe.

Any grown ups wishing to get in on the action the Boden sandals go up to an adult size 6!
